It so happens that the sale has fallen through.
Don't know what circumstances whether it's just a non paying bidder or if someone came to look and didn't buy. Will find out soon enough
So may end up buying it in the end. Only thing it hasn't go is an alarm/imob although it's data tagged. Would probably buy one just for piece of mind really.
EDIT : Just spoke to the seller, the original buyer said he's suddenley had to work away from 3 months so can't buy it. Seems a bit suspect unless he's in the army or something.
Seller said there is another bidder that couldn't bid in time and he is coming at the weekend to buy it. I'm away so can't, said if he doesn't buy it let me know.

Also just got an insurance quote for a zxr. £186 tpft. The same company for the zzr £96.
I'm with bennetts at the mo, didn't really ring round too much last time as just wanted to get on the bike and ride.
Not too bad really thought would have been more than that.

try e-bike insurance mate, and as for the sale falling through, more like he got his mate to bid to get the price up and fell flat on his face. his loss tho cos it would cost him ebays final value fee.old trick mate that everyone seems to be doing lately.

but if he got his mate to bid then all they need to do is mutually agree not to complete and he'll get his fee's refunded.

the sidelight is standard on uk models .. they are a bitch to unplug without taking the light outta the fairing..
that bike looked nice.
headgasket, replace it when it goes. there i a large chance that this will be ~20k ish ..
they go if thrashed because the bolts stretch, and the blocks/heads can warp slightly if the bike is caned without proper warming up, or overheated, or whatever.. lol

Aye two of mine have had it on them, no point though as the zxr battery is so pants the parking light will drain the battery in about 5 hours so you cant start it off the starter...
